Which Eagles Group Must Step Up After Key Injury?

Smith has been banged up for most of the season with lower body injuries. Sunday will be a chance for him to "get right" ahead of the team's key games down the stretch. 

But with the former Heisman Trophy no longer available, the Eagles will need additional players to step up for them. 

Yes, stars like A.J. Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Dallas Goedert are all still on the roster, but even one member of the Eagles missing time is usually a bad sign for the organization. 

To Philadelphia, Sunday will be a golden opportunity for additional players across the receiver position to step up. 

Whether it's former first-round pick Jahan Dotson, the return of special teams ace Britain Covey, or rookies such as Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith, the Eagles have plenty of weapons to remain competitive against the high-flying Rams. 

In that regard, anything less than their usual average of points scored will not do with quarterback Jalen Hurts leading the way. 

Smith's loss is a big issue for the Eagles moving forward, but for Sunday, it's a chance that the team can show they are more than just their star players.
